What I Wore Wednesday - AX Paris edition

Hello chicks! (I was going to add the male version of chicks as well but then realised it was far too rude for a respectable blog like this -coughs-) How're we all doing? I've had a manic day at work followed by a 'lovely' couple of hours completing night-school work - very sleepy girly now!

Before I do my best impression of sleeping beauty though, I have an amazing treat to showcase with you all. I was recently offered the chance to share with you lovelies an item of clothing from the fabulous website AX Paris.

AX Paris are a gorgeous clothing brand that sell a range of gorgeous goodies at good ole high-st prices! A must visit this season with their incredible party dresses (THIS and THIS are my top favourites) AX Paris look set to be right up there with the best this festive season.

For my own little treat I wanted something that would be versatile enough to style casually for shopping, socialising and other festive missions, but smart enough to wear to the office or out for drinks should the mood arise. I think the item I chose really fits my brief, let's have a look :

 And the bundled up in a leather jacket - perfect for the cold eddition :

I'm in love with it.
Big thankyou to AX Paris required!

I found that in terms of fit the clothes run true to size. I'm a generally more of a 6 than and 8 and the 8 on me was slightly loose which I did expect and actually prefer as I think it looks much more flattering than a squeezed in look.
In terms of comfort and wearability I cannot fault this dress, it's one of those rare meetings between style and comfort. My only advice would be that if you're planning on wearing this in the day - layer up! It's lovely lightweight material is definitely goosebump friendly ;)

Get your hands on your very own HERE for just £25.00

Also, keep your eyes peeled ;) I have a VERY exciting AX Paris oppurtunity coming your way soon ;)
Happy midweek!

14.11.2011- Monday Must-haves

Monday again! I really can't get my head around how quickly this year has flown by- and, with only a few weeks until my 22nd birthday (aaah!), this week's Must-haves post is dedicated to lots of lovely things I wouldn't mind receiving as pressies!

I was browsing ASOS over the weekend (whilst cheekily snapping up some lovely pieces as part of their special 10% off promotion!), and came across this beautiful blouse by Sister Jane. I adore how simple it is, and the embellished collar detail is the perfect touch of sparkle now we're heading into 'party season'. This ring from Accessorize is so cute, and the shopper from Warehouse is just about big enough to fit all of my essentials in- I love the metallic touches too. I spied this jumper in Zara last week, and fell in love as soon as I tried it on- the photo really doesn't do it justice. The only thing which put me off snapping it up on the spot was the 'wash factor'- I think one blast in the machine at 30 degrees and it'd be finished. I'm happy to be proved wrong though, so if you've bought one and it's survived a spin in the wash then please do let me know! These ballet pumps from H&M are very reminiscent of Chanel, and a complete steal at £12.99. Finally, this beautiful burnt red beret was another item I spotted in Zara last week, and I think it's the perfect festive touch as we head into December.

Have you bought anything in the last week? And what items are on your wish list at the moment?
